PEORIA, Ill. -- Senior forward Jenny Van Kirk (Waconia, Minn./Waconia) has been named the Bradley Country Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week announced Thursday.
Van Kirk led the Braves with a season-high 15 points on 4-of-6 shooting against Missouri. She also grabbed four rebounds and made 6-of-8 free throw attempts against the Tigers last week. Enrolled in Bradley's individualized major program, Van Kirk owns a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point average.
Each week, a Bradley student-athlete is selected as the Country Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week. The individual chosen must be at least a sophomore in class standing and boast a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average, while displaying a level of athletic excellence.
Van Kirk and the Braves return to action Thursday when they open a season-long five-game road swing with an 8:05 p.m. (CST) contest at Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colo.
